I hope that this is not the wrong thread on which to ask the question but knowing some of you oldies are a fountain of knowledge when it comes to boozers I though you may be able to help.
The place in question was situated a few hundred yards on the Burnley side of Brierfield traffic lights, on the right going towards Nelson. I used to go over from Todmorden with a few mates about twice a month.
I seemed to remember going upstairs to a room with roulette wheel and other gambling tools.
Can anybody else remember it and what it was called.
i am not dreaming because the one thing which sticks in my mind was the amount of money I lost one night in the 60's
I played the wheel with half a crown on the red and doubled up each time I lost.
I had got up to sixteen pound stake and was told that twenty five was the house limit so i couldn't double up anymore.
I lost the lot and never again did I gamble, even the nags or dogs.
Anybody any idea what it was called?

Was it the Tropicano club-- But that was Nelson
